About Coach

Hi and welcome! My name is Corian and I have been coaching for over 7 years. I grew up playing softball and participating in my school's theatre programs, helping out with set design and building. I have always been an active individual loving weekend trips to our cabin in Northern WI, fishing, camping, swimming and anything I could do outside. Opening our first gym in 2015 was a dream I never knew I had until it happened. I love coaching and working with people to help them find their ideal healthy lifestyle to optimize the life they have and create memories and experiences.

Turning Point

I started in my first career early at the ripe age of 21 as a Deputy Sheriff for my home town. I grew up in a typical middle class family with little understanding of food quality and nutrition. We ate hearty, mostly home cooked meals, but there wasn't much thought given to the meals other than taste. I did not spend time in the kitchen learning to cook, as I preferred playing outside or reading. This carried over to my adulthood and turned into eating fast food, drinking like most "Wisconsinites" and smoking like a trucker. I had no idea how to care for my body. I was often sick, tired and worn out. I met my husband at 23 who was much healthier than me, but allowed me to find my own path without pushing me. By 27, I was winded going up stairs, was loosing my hair from stress and had gut health issues that stopped me in my tracks almost daily. No doctor could help me. I was beyond frustrated with not understanding how my body worked and how to make it healthy and strong for all the things I wanted to do. I decided to figure it out on my own. My husband and I found CrossFit in 2014 and I fell in love with moving my body, becoming stronger physically and mentally, and fueling with quality food. I was blown away with how much daily movement and eating whole foods was changing my body. I felt better, had more energy and my moods were happier. I dived into learning all I could with a community of people who supported my lifestyle changes to  be a better me. I found information out there about how all aspects of our lives play a role in our hormones, emotions, body composition and everything else. I started getting answers on how to take care of my body and what worked for me without having to rely on expensive medications and doctors appointments that always seemed to leave me feeling more confused than before. We opened our own gym in August 2015 so we could help others like us who came from a background of little to zero nutrition knowledge and needed support and guidance to find their healthy lifestyle. I even started cooking for myself, leading to our "In The Kitchen" YouTube series and releasing my own cookbook for simple healthy meals. I became Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified in 2018, Precision Nutrition Level 2 Master Health Coach Certified in Oct of 2021 and I currently am enrolled in the Precision Nutrition Level 2 Master Health Coach Certification to become board certified with the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches.

Motivation & Passion

After years of owning a brick and mortar gym we knew there was more out there for us. We love traveling, seeing the world, exploring and meeting new people. The entire reason I started my journey was so that I go do more, see more and meet more people. We took ourselves out on the road! Since being on the road I meet the most incredible people. I'm here to help others see that there is no limit to their lives and what they can do. I was held back by low energy, body insecurities and low motivation. I'm here for all those looking to do more, see more and be more. For those who want to learn how to treat their bodies right in order to get out and experience all that life and the world has to offer.
